Actually
I just had a look around Cartier website (man I hate it when a watch company doesn't give you the option to request an actual catalogue) and I found out about the ladies size Roadster in blue dial. That thing is so beautiful, the only 'downside' is that it is Quartz. It's not like she cares so much about Quartz or mechanical, but I think she got a bit of my influence now and thinks that if a watch is not cheap, it should be at least a mechanical inside.
But that Cartier is really nice, I tried to look for more pics, and I found this Japanese website (http://www.cartier-watch.jp/w62053v3.html#) that has so many nice pictures of it. If I understand it correctly, this model also comes with 2 straps ? One leather and one steel? I must honestly say that as a woman's watch, it looks nicer than a white Master Ultra Thin in satin, but inside-wise, MUT walks all over this Quartz model. Especially considering the price, with just 500-600 bucks more, I could get a MUT which has not only mechanical, but it is one of the most unique mechanical movts in the industry. I also think that even though it's gorgeous, the price is a bit stiff for a Quartz watch without any diamonds in it.
I know I should let her decide herself, but if it was you, what would you guys choose and why?
Anyone Owns/Seen Master Ultra Thin 34mm ?
My partner is thinking to get a Cartier tank because she wants a watch with leather band. She has her eyes on Tank Solo. Whilst I can see that it's relatively 'cheap' and looks nice on her, but I think I should ask her to consider a Master Control Ultra T...
There are a bunch of people
Who have the older, 34mm MUT, on this board. What I'm not sure about, and I don't know if this was your question or not, is if anyone owns the newer, more feminine MUT. The older one is quite nice (that one is white gold) A...
I think the 34mm MUT is relatively popular...
It is just that it is not a new watch, so there is going to be less traffic about it here on this forum than about the newer models. However, here is a link, from not too long ago, to a discussion with some nice photos of people's MUTs. Hope this will hel...
There were 2 models in 04/05 that were made for ladies...
one with champagne dial and strap, and one with burgundy dial and strap. Both had diamon bezel. Then in 06/07 a black dial and strap was offered (gorgeous!!!). The silver dial is nice, but if she was thinking about a Cartier Tank, she might also consider ...

...an old girlfriend wears one in pink gold. They both love it. And my dad has one in platinum...though you didn't ask! Ken
Let's face it
The MUT is an icon... The " Less is more " fans will appreciate it, truly. The Tank is another nice choice, but my heart beats faster for the MUT. Look at its case back, at its awesome profile, its superb " simplicity ". It is a watch which is hard to bea...
JLC Master Ultra Thin Pictures
This is a great watch both for a man and women despite the 34mm size. I wear 44mm watches most of the time but on the few occasions I get into my Penguin suite "Tuxedo" I always wear the JLC Ultra thin. I can't speak for the Cartier but it equally as desi...
It is always a pleasure to admire this MUT, Bill.
And thanks you a lot for having posted some profile pictures. This is one of the most spectacular aspect of this watch. The Blue dial on this platinum version is also a gorgeous detail. Best, my friend. Nicolas
That is THE MUT, Bill
Just gorgeous. Oh, maybe I should try it just one more time... respo...
We have the Polaris in common
Why stop there. For absolute minimalist luxury, style and class. The MUT is the one. Not even a second hand to disrupt its purity....
I love this picture, Bill!
Yes, I was thinking the same about the Polaris, and especially the 65... It is indeed a dressy watch, comfortable with a suit, but also with more casual wear. I even know some friends who only have the Polaris as a Dressy watch, in their amazing collectio...
Wow! Great photo!
That whole look is really sharp! I am glad you agree that the '65 Pola is just so stylish and always ready for a night out. That is one of the best photos of the Pola that I have seen. So, my problem with the MUT..is my wrist. Nothing wrong with the MUT a...
Thanks
Thanks for the pics and info guys. Polaris is very nice, but not for my wife. But for me, yes, haha... I think MUT especially the 34mm is less popular that's why I don't see them on display at shops. By the way I am a bit confused here, some MUT has a dis...

I think you already have this figured out
The MUT is beautiful inside and out. But why not let your wife decide, since, as you pointed out, the price difference is not that significant and she is the one who will be wearing it. respo

The polaris was not for you wife. The MUT however is the one to consider. I am sorry for the confusion as I brought the polaris into the conversation only as a reference point that I as a regular wristed guy who wears mostly 44mm watches easily wear the 3...
polaris
Don't tempt me with Polaris or else my partner might not be getting a watch and I might get a Polaris for myself instead, haha
If it was up to me…
Hands down – MUT for sure! But she is the one to wear it – have you checked with her that any of these two is the one she like? Best Blomman
Unfortunately
Unfortunately she didn't really like the look of the MUT - because she prefers a watch with numbered dials instead of 'stripes'. That means the other option is the Squadra auto, she likes it, but I don't think she likes it enough to pay for the asking pri...
Sorry to hear!
Have you considered maybe one like this? If you not in a hurry – I have something in the pipeline for the girls… Need a week or two to put it together… Best Blomman...
Maybe a Panerai. If you...
Maybe a Panerai. If you want to go in an extreme opposite direction a nice 40mm Panerai Pam 049 or 050 could fit the bill. You never know. Bill...
The MUT...
is a fantastic watch. A very elegant, and in steel also very light watch that looks a little bigger than 34 mm because of the very thin bezel. You hardly notice it when wearing it, very comfortable. So, no need to hesitate. A true classic for both a woman...
